They told me upfront they outsource. They rooked me around sm

They asked for a test and I don't normally get asked for a test. After all these years, it is a bit of an insult. Then, they asked me for 3 references and they called THEM ALL. I tested for an acute care QA position, but after several days, they said would like to put me in for the outsourced, Indian MT editing. Okay...

Then they email and say the give the job to another candidate! I was pissed. This entire process took 2 weeks and time I'll never get back again. You'd think 15 years of experience would get you something, but no, not at DSG.

I was told they did NOT outsource during a job interview.

Recruiter told me the don't outsource
And supposedly they are hiring me because they are getting a huge account with 6 hospitals. Any more info on them - I need to let them know tomorrow and don't know what to do. It sounded good, but now I'm worried.
I was told by their recruiter that they outsource off-shore.

They have told us they absolutely do not outsource or offshore

E-mail came from big boss explaining trying to clear up rumors saying they do not do this.  I have no reason not to believe them.  They are great people to work for.  No job is perfect, but TT makes me very happy.


Do not outsource to India, outsource a small amount to Phillipines.

I would rather know upfront than have to ask :) nm

They were upfront when this change was
made and have never denied the fact that they are owned by Transcend. But they operate separately and on most accounts with different platforms. Always amazes me that people who do not (and many times have not) worked for a company try to create doubting Thomas attitude and the only reason I can think of for this is that this is a competing company representative or you were there and just did not fit in.
At least they were upfront with u on not paying for spaces...
they told me mine included spaces and it doesn't!! RIDICULOUS!!
If the company wants $$ upfront for software, etc.
run.   There are other companies that actually hide behind another company and refer people, but it is all a scam too.  If you know company names please ask about them here so you can get the experience of our knowledge to protect you from getting into trouble. 
They talk about all of this upfront. Just because they respond
to an email or resume does not mean that they want someone to work an ortho account. The first thing discussed is pay and how the account works. Otherwise, it would be a waste of everyone's time to go through all the testing and interviewing and set up, etc if it is not what the applicant is looking for!
They are upfront with the pay, flat 0.08 cpl with benefits...
incentive of 0.0850 at 1800 lines, 2000 lines 0.090 cpl.
Then, you might want to pass that on to the recruiter. They tell you it is upfront.
But, as you pointed out, no more than anywhere else. The majority of nationals all have a fair share of ESL. Some people prefer ESL over fast, mumbly American doctors.
How upfront is T-C Transcription in Florida?

Sent resume some time last month.  Was emailed couple days later to fill out attachments containing questions on computer specs, etc, and a written test, which was EASY.  Almost 2 weeks later, was emailed by Susan saying she was gonna be out of the office for a couple of days due to family tragedy. Two days after that email, I saw that she posted on another job board for the same positions.  I checked my written test over and over again, which was EASY.  Wish people would be upfront and say I didn't pass, didn't meet computer specs, etc.  I guess in this company's own way, it did tell me something--they are not upfront.  Anybody else experience this? 


I think you are being a bit unfair. We all say we want MTSOs to be upfront sm

about what they will pay, what they expect, and not to waste OUR time testing if the wages or whatever do not meet our expectations, then when someone does that, she gets blasted.  I just started doing some part-time work for her, and the work is clinic work, which is super easy, and the pay is on time and it is weekly, which is a nice little extra. 


Just my thoughts


Kids, any company that wants an upfront fee
is not legit! RUN!
I used to work there, and when I interviewed with Tonya, she was upfront sm

about the company being in India.  I do not know if anything has changed, but I think if you took the job, they would be honest with you about their location. 


I admit that when I left, my feelings were a bit hurt over the shortage of work and other things I felt were not dealt with correctly, but in all fairness, at leastmy check was always on time (direct deposit), and the work was fairly easy.  Tonya is a gem. 


I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to

JLG outsource???
Anyone know if JLG outsources? I asked their HR person and so far have received no response. Very suspicious about that.
JLG Outsource???
They have advertised on boards using their "Vianeta or Arrendale" software. If you search Google for Arrendale software, you will see that Arrendale and CBAY formed a partnership.... Check past posts on CBAY. What do you think?
Do they outsource?

MDI does not outsource but they do
overhire. Not a bad company overall, just have to fight for work a lot of the time.
Outsource

Do they outsource now? If not, they're planning it, big time. Companies need excuses to outsource, main one being they can't meet demand. Yeah, drop that line req down, that'll do it! Care to divulge company name?


they outsource and their pay is low nm
.
Outsource
MDI does not outsource but they were bought by Transcend who has been sending work to Florida. Just an FYI.
Not an outsource
No everyone there worked from home.  They also used Transcend for overflows.  It was a good place to work, but dayshift was years away.

I am 99.9% sure they do not outsource. nm

Boy do they outsource
The offshores get preference for the work.  Some of the managers are just awful, especially one in particular.   I mean downright nasty and not even available for questions. Big shakeups lately.
if they did HAVE to outsource all, tho,
or even a ton, it would be a QA nightmare and clients would finally have to ask - WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON WITH YOU PEOPLE?

sweeeet
They do more than outsource, as they have

an office in India. 


No, they do not outsource.

They do outsource, don't let them kid you
nm
no no NO! TT does NOT outsource sm

There is, however, an Indian company with a similar name that IS doing business in India.


I know it gets slammed on here for doing all kinds of things and I have never heard a word of truth about Transtech spoken here.


I did not say that they don't outsource
I said that not all of the team leads are in India.
Yes, Medware does outsource....sm
and they make no bones about it. However, they are not the only company to do so and more and more companies will likely be doing the same in the future. Like it or not, this is the future of medical transcription...to get the transcription done offshore and then have it edited by more qualified egocentric jerks like myself in the USA.

I think you have overstepped the boundaries of common decency in categorizing people who work for Medware or any other company who chooses to outsource their work. If you don't like it, you don't have to work there and don't have to associate with us, but it is a low blow to attack fellow members of your profession in such an unprofessional manner.
MDI does NOT outsource.. all work is done
on-shore. Transcend does outsource though (minimal).
Does Transolutions outsource?
nm
They outsource heavily and
make no bones about it.  They are located in suburban Nashville, TN and generally make no bones about their ties with Indian transcriptionists.
Most of the companies out there outsource now.
.
companies who outsource
Do you consider Canadians being outsourcing? With all the Americans out of work does it bother you that companies hire Canadians?
SPI information? Do they outsource?
Any info appreciated.
They don't outsource VA accts because they can't (sm)
Contracts with the fedgov won't allow it. Funny how the gov't won't allow VA files to be sent overseas, but they don't bother putting a stop to the rest of ours going huh?
They outsource to India and..
when the recruiter was asked, she said she didn't know that for sure even though it is posted on their website.  When this was pointed out, I still couldn't get her to admit it.  I turned them down because I prefer straight answers and dont' work for companies who outsource to India.
They outsource on VR accounts. NM

NM


yes, they still OFFSHORE (not outsource), otherwise
nm
Wow, that's impressive. Do they outsource?
Now I am very intrigued! I did e-mail them and asked a few basic questions. Do you have any idea what their pay scale is? I have almost 7 years of experience as an MT.
Yes, they do outsource to Spheris
When ATSIS offered me a position back in early November, the account I was going to work on was with Spheris and the company was fixing to leave Spheris. It was a BIG mess. Maybe it's a blessing I did not end up working with this company. The recruiting manager is so darn RUDE. I would never want to communicate with her again. I would not trust her if she gave me the biggest offer to come back. That company is so darn SCREWED UP! I can see why the keep advertising over and over again constantly. They are probably screwing every MT like they did me! I sure hope every MT that is reading this post does not even consider appling with ATSI out of Clearwater, Florida because they will be sorry!!!

Have a great holiday. You deserve so much better out there than this CRAZY company.
